'clickable' Metal-organic Framework

摘要

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) constructed from organic ligands as linkers and metal ions as nodes have become one of the most fascinating porous materials for gas storage, catalysts, and sensors, owing to their isoreticular frameworks. In particular, the robust frameworks have enabled us to design the sizes and shapes of the nanosize pores by replacement of the organic linkers and metal ions. More recently, growing interests have been attracted for development of new functions of MOFs by photochemical processes between guest molecules and metal ions in the nodes for sensing and introduction of functional groups in the organic linkers for catalysis.
